Wyndham Lakes is the northwest corner of Coral Springs, and it wears its 1990s master-plan heritage well: sixteen individually gated sub-communities of Mediterranean-style homes built between 1994 and 2004, wrapped around interior lakes, with the Sawgrass Expressway forming its northern and western edge, Coral Ridge Drive to the east and Wiles Road to the south. For families targeting this school zone, it's one of the most-asked-about areas we cover — and its rental market has some quirks worth knowing going in.
Sixteen communities behind sixteen gates
The sub-communities carry their own names — Eagle Creek, Grand Isles, Pelican Pointe, Coventry Place, Bay Pointe, Park Place, The Island and others — and each runs its own association, several under different management companies. Two renter-relevant consequences:
- Tenant registration is standard. Communities here require renters to be registered with the association's management company — Coventry Place, for instance, states it outright. Fees and processing times vary by community and mostly aren't published, so confirming the current requirements with the right management office is step one of any application. (A caution from our research: fee figures floating around online for "Wyndham Lakes" often belong to a same-named community in Orlando — don't budget off those.)
- Owner dues are modest by gated-community standards — roughly $55–$140/month depending on the sub-community — which is one reason homes here stay owner-occupied and rental inventory runs thin.
The homes themselves are mostly 3–6 bedroom single-family houses, villas and townhomes, one and two stories, many with private pools, on compact lots.
The school zone that drives the demand
Wyndham Lakes is commonly zoned to Eagle Ridge Elementary (with part of the community zoned to Country Hills Elementary), Coral Springs Middle, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High across the Parkland line — a lineup that keeps family demand for this corner of the city consistently strong. The community spans more than one elementary attendance zone, so verify the exact address through the district's boundary tool rather than assuming.
Living on the Sawgrass
The location trades central-Coral-Springs walkability for commute speed: the Sawgrass Expressway is effectively the neighborhood's back fence, putting Sunrise, the airport corridor and Miami-bound routes a ramp away. Day to day, Kensington Square shopping is about five minutes out, and the Coral Springs Sportsplex, Aquatic Complex, Tall Cypress Natural Area and the Sawgrass Nature Center all sit within a short drive. Inside the gates, several sub-communities keep their own pools and clubhouses alongside the lakes the area is named for.
What it costs
Rental inventory splits in two. The Villas at Wyndham Lakes apartment community on NW 56th Drive (1–3 bedrooms, roughly 840–1,500 sq ft) was asking about $2,000–$3,700 in early September 2026 depending on size and source. Single-family and townhome rentals inside the gated sub-communities surface in small numbers at community-specific prices — when one appears in your budget, move quickly, because thin supply is the norm here. Those are asking figures; for what tenants actually sign across our managed Coral Springs portfolio — median $2,000/month — see the Coral Springs rent index.
The honest fit
Wyndham Lakes rewards renters who are optimizing for the school zone and Sawgrass commute and can plan around two realities: limited inventory, and a per-community registration process that adds days to a move-in. Start the association paperwork the day your application is accepted, and this corner of the city is hard to beat for family renting.
